"Any seat is open."

How thick a steel plate can be laid on his face to make such remarks without hesitation. The remarks were even made on TV. It means you can accept whatever offer comes to you, specifically two seats. He is the head coach of the England national team or Manchester United.

The problem is that the person who made such confident remarks has a disastrous career. That's Graham Potter, the former Chelsea manager. He is aiming for both the head of the English national team and the head of the EPL's popular club Manchester United, but his managerial career is by no means spectacular. I've even been out of work for the last year and a half.



British media Team Talk reported on the 1st (Korea Standard Time) 'Porter mentioned hints of the position of Manchester United and England's national team coach as Manchester United coach Erik ten Hach was on the verge of being dismissed' Former Chelsea manager Porter appeared on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football on the 30th and spoke of the possibility of taking over as manager of Manchester United and England. "Anything is open."There is a possibility," he said.

On the possibility of taking over as head coach of the England team, he said on the show, `As an Englishman, this job is very fantastic. I support it no matter what the FA decidesAsked if he would prefer to return to the professional team coach, he replied: "I'm open to anything, everything."



Directly avoiding mention of 'yes/no', it can be interpreted as being close to 'yes' in context.

In particular, former Chelsea manager Porter is considered one of the new Manchester United manager candidates to replace Ten Hag. Potter said "A lot of it is not true. I'm still talking to a lot of people, but when it comes to the content, it's best to keep it private."



However, looking at former coach Potter's career, there is a high possibility that he will not be chosen by both Manchester United and FA. This is because there is no clear grade. He was appointed Chelsea manager in September 2022 but was dismissed in April 2023 for poor performance just seven months later. In the past, Swansea City and Brighton showed such good leadership, but they couldn't overcome the burden of being a big club manager. Literally 'Devastated' at Chelsea. As a result, he has not been able to find a new job for a year and a half since his dismissal.
